Paul Rhodes

Paul started in the apartment industry 28 years ago, picking up trash at a community in Roswell, GA, after discovering that retail was not a good fit. He worked his way through the maintenance career path at the community level, including a brief pause working for a pool builder until he earned the opportunity to go national.

In 2005, he began creating and delivering multiple training courses to maintenance professionals across the country. First as the Lead Instructor for HD Supply Customer Training and then for the National Apartment Association Education Institute. In 2020 when the pandemic canceled all classes, Paul became the Director of Maintenance for The Life Properties before joining Brookfield Properties as the Senior Manager of Maintenance Learning in June of 2022.

Paul continues to write, create, and deliver apartment maintenance information and is considered a leader in the field. Paul holds the following designations: CAMT, CAPS, CAMT+E, CAMT+L, EPA 608 Universal, PHTA-CPO Instructor, and is a continuing member of NAAEI Faculty.
